LIVEALITTLE

It's probably more information than any of you reading this would want to know about me, but I'd missed my period for 2 months. The last time I missed my period was March 2005 when I progressed into advanced Graves Disease. Paranoid, I saw my uni doctor on Monday. She presumed my issue was attributed to my life change. Reluctant to accept that explanation, I had her schedule a blood test. My results are due tomorrow, Friday.
In the hospital (where they've allocated me to do my first week of clinicals), I was assigned to a room with a Cantonese elderly lady. She didn't speak a lick of English and when she found out I spoke Cantonese, she begged me to stay close to her. She actually reminded me of my mom. The puffy curly black hair, the constant complaining of back pain, the hatred for american food, ... I helped her make her bed, walk her to the bathroom, take a shower, etc. I hadn't helped anyone as much as her. When I got home, I realized my period started.
Until today, I didn't realize how much of a need I needed to feel at home. Mrs. Lam helped me feel more comfortable with my new surroundings. Thank you! I hope I see you again on my last day at Royal Prince Albert Hospital tomorrow...
